Dream Comes True

My typewriter arrived today! I am so excited. Now I just have to figure out how it works. It comes with correcting tape and a daisy wheel. I will have to call the typewriter company to ask how exactly I am supposed to put this typing machine together and get it up and running. I heard a horrible grinding sound when I tried to start it up. The instructions say that is a sign that the insides are pushed up against packing material. Didn't see any packing material, but I am sure that this mystery will be resolved.  It won't be long before I am hammering out quite a novel :) So happy.
